I Need Your Help!

I used Taylor's Sketch Challenge for this card. We were required to use 3 different pieces of dp on it so you know I was all for it! :D I just noticed that the ribbon is crooked in the picture but I didn't feel like retaking it so I am just going to have to get over it. I hate it that I am such a perfectionist sometime!

I made this card for a friend who has been through a lot. She needs some encouragement and could use our help. My friend's name is Jamie. She had a fire in the back portion of her house. Apparently her laundry room, stamp room, and other areas caught fire and were completely destroyed. She lost all of her stamping stuff (along with everything else)! The saddest part of all is that they were renting the house and didn't have renter's insurance so none of it was covered! She wants to get back into stamping but they are so tight on money that she can't really afford to.

Here is how you can help: I have decided to send her a little care package and I was wondering how many of you would be willing to help out. I am going to send her some stamps, ribbon, embellishments, etc. She could probably use any kind of stamping supplies. If you would be willing to donate something, anything, it would mean the world not only to me, but to her. Even something as simple as a card will be great! I am sure she lost all of her card samples too. For her own privacy, I am not going to give out her address. Instead, I am asking that you mail your donations to my house. I will then ship it all out in one package to her. If you are interested in helping out will you please drop me a comment or an email so that I can give you my home address. Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this post and I hope to hear from some of you!Recipe:Stamps: All Holidays, Baroque MotifsPaper: Always Artichoke, Really Rust, Whisper White, Fall Flowers dspInk: Always Artichoke, Really RustAccessories: Brads, Dimensionals, Ribbon, Slit Punch, Paper Piercer

Stephanie, I'll be glad to send you some things! And it's a good excuse to go through some of my stamps that i have been wanting to thin out!! How very kind of you! Elizabeth Glass.........navyamdo@gmail.com

Hey Steph,I would love to help out! do you mind sending me an email and kinda give me a list of what you think she would like best. would she prefer, stamps, ink, paper or cards?What a nice person you are to do this for her!!!

I would love to send some supplies to your friend. Thank you so much for letting us know about her situation. I know she will enjoy your beautiful card. Please email me your address...marilyncline@hchd.net

Hi Stephanie, sorry I haven't sent out any stuff for your friend, I finally got around to going through some of my stuff (plus Michaels had a great $1 stamp sale). I'll be sending the stuff out on Monday, just wanted to let you know that I didn't forget about this!

Stephanie, I would like to contribute to your friend. Do you know what stamp sets she may have already received so that I don't need to duplicate for her. I will gladly thin out my stamping supplies as there are some I don't use and would love to send them to someone who would.bboppn@charter.net
